Foreword 



Compilation of this hook was hci^tin in March. an,l ciidnl in Octoher. 
1919. More tlian seven nionihs wwv dcxMtcd to tlie task nf ..htainin-- the 
photographs and records. A lon^i-r time nii^ht have lieen pnt nimn tin/ work, 
under ditTercnt conditions. iUit hickin- jmhlic financial assistance, save the 
small and nncertain revenne expected fr. mi the sales of the hook, sales not to 
soldiers hut to the -eneral hook l)uy<.T in the county, expediency demanded 
that the nianuscriiH l)e sent to the printer before Christmas, 1919. 

The Hardin Tribune ran many advertisements during the seven months 
mentioned, and the editor made speeches, wrote letters and interviewed par- 
lies energetically during the same period. In spite of this proiKiganda, not 
all the material belonging by right in the book was obtained. However, men- 
lion at least has been made of every man whom it is known entered the ser- 
vice from Big Horn County. 

At first it was considered necessary to carry advertisements in this 
history, if a serious loss were not to be invited; but the publisher and editor 
finally decided to take whatever financi.al risk there mi.gh: be, rather than gi\e 
the work a commercial as])ect. 

A few pages have been left l)lank in the \-iilume to accommodate the 
soldier or other "candidate for .t^hiry" who ne.L;lected \.>> answer the call fur 
photo and record. The person ])asscd nvcv may consider this open section 
an invitation to paste up his picture and history among the others. 

There will proliably be some errors in the te.xt. since practically all in- 
formation had to be obtained indirectly (owing to the candidates" nKjdcsty, 
usually) ; but it is thought these will not be marked. 

A few boys are found in the book who. strictly speaking, do not ■'belong" 
to Big Horn County; but tiiey had relatives here, and did their bit, so the 
publisher claimed them in retui'ii for the transients enlisting from here, whom 
other county records have inchide<l, and who were inaccessil)le to the l!ig 
Horn County book, during the peri(id of its compilation. 

As to the arrangement of the soldier pictures, it may be necessary to 
explain that they were sent to the en,gra\er as they came in, to avoid delay 
over cuts at the time of ])ul)lication, and consecpiently the alphabetical 
arrangement is imperfect.

The Men Who Gave All. 



Into camps and places slran.a:e. 
Many little troubles knew. 
Real anxieties a few. 

Shocked at sucli a sudden chan-e 
From the life where friends were t 
.-Xnd the world wdiere flowers grew. 

Now again we smell the sage 
.\nd regard a loving smile; 

Heedless of the warrior's rage. 

Labor for a better age; 

Yet we pause, ah, many a while. 

Envious that but yon should wage 

War forever on this page! 

We shall soon forget the call 
Of the bugle and the drum; 

Lost in life's commercial tlirall. 

Some of us unseen shall fall 
In the petty lights tn come: 

But your names forever shall 

Stand for this: ■'They gave tlieir :

Big Horn County. 

Prior to IsiU the County "I" Big Horn com- 
prised the entire eastern part of the State of 
Montana, occupying more than one-third of 
the state territory, or what would now amount 
to about fifteen counties. -At that time there 
were only nine counties in the state; tlicre are 
now fifty. 

The last organization of the county was ef- 
fected January 6, 1913, and comprised an area 
of five thousand one hundred and eleven 
square miles. 

Big Horn County is situated in the south- 
eastern part of the state, the average elevation 
approaches three thousand feet; the climate is 
moderate, lending itself to grain production, 
mixed farming and cattle-ranching. 

The population is estimated at ten thous- 
and, the greater part of which consists of set- 
tlers from the Middle States. 

Hardin, the county seat of Big Horn Coun- 
ty, has a population of two thousand (1919), 
and can boast of historical surroundings. A 
mile from the city stands the ruins of old Fort 
Custer, twelve miles to the southeast rises the 
Custer Monument, where there has been cre- 
ated a United States military reservation in 
commemoration of General Custer's last fight; 
and farther to the south and west is the site 
of old Fort Smith, at the nnuith of the Big 
Horn Canyon. 



It was in this county tliat tlie red man made 
his last stand against civilization, in 1876. 
And now in this year of 1919, upon the ground 
where Custer and two hundred and fifty of 
his men were massacred, we are privileged to 
record the names of Indian fighters for lib- 
erty, the educated sons of Custer's war-painted 
enemies, some of them back from "overseas," 
where civilization has again been compelled 
to tight for its existence. These enlightened 
descendants of the one-time savage are of the 
Crow tribe, which occupies a reservation cov- 
ering two million three hundred thousand 
acres, a large part of it lying within the limits 
of Big Horn County. 

The following is an excerpt from a Chamber 
of Commerce publication issued in August, 
1919: 

"The second great resource of the Big Horn 
Valley is water power. At the mouth of the 
fifty-mile canyon where the Big Horn River 
breaks into the valley, a dam approximately 
500 feet in height, the highest dam in the world, 
will develop 317,000 h. p., which makes this, 
with one exception, the largest undeveloped 
water power in the United States. This amount 
of power would be sufficient for the electrifica- 
tion of all railroads for hundreds of miles and 
the light, heat and power requirements of all 
liastern JMontana and Northern Wyoming, and 
would furnish the foundation for large scale 
manufacturing development, utilizing the va- 
riety of raw materials available in the imme- 
diate territory. 

"The Big Horn Canyon Irrigation and Pow- 
er Company, organized and largely financed by 
Hardin men. has developed this project to the 
point where favorable water power legislation 
by Congress will pave tiie way for early con- 
struction, for which it is estimated at least 
$20,000,000.00 will be required. This project 
will also make possible at comparatively slight 
cost the irrigation of over 100.000 acres of rich 
bench land."

The West 



Here in these hills, 
Pardner, lay down your ills. 

And there in the valley you sorrow; 
See yonder the plains — 
Forget bygone pains: 

This is the land of tomorrow. 



W'liere are the friends 
Whose own bitter ends 

Forbade them the joy t 
Ah, pard, if they could 
Hut only have stood 

Where we are, and ga 



Where is the strife 
Of the old brutal life, 

Where blood marked 
lar? 
Where are the fears 
Of age-bringing years. 

And the pride and the 



itest high col 



Come, buckle your belt — 
The rest of us felt 

The burden you think you must carr 
Rut here in the sage 
Regret loses edge. 

And the pangs, you will fmil, seldo 



Where is the love 
That so painfully strovt 

To bury itself in conv 
That gave of its soul 
For feathers — or coal. 

And died against ever 



Some day at the dawn 
You will find worries gone. 

And the sun that smiles over the ridges 
Will show 30U the past 
As a highway, at last, 

And thos- troubles not ditches, but bridges. 
Big- Horn Co., Mont., 1919. 



First Days in Camp. 

Do you suppose that, twenty years from now, 
we shall have forgotten those days? When 
the next generation asks us about tlie World 
War we shall be able to tell at least about the 
first experiences in camp. 

It may be that you have liecn in tlio hot of 
the battle, that you have put some of that l)ay- 
onet drill into practical use: but it is doubtful 
if you will remember any incident or impres- 
sion, however exciting, as clearly as the hap- 
penings, physical and psychological, of those 
early camp days. For it was really during the 
first week in uniform that the civilian became 
a soldier. He had been shocked into it in 
that time, and whatever happened afterward.- 
seemed to matter very little. 

We can still conjure up the feelings associ- 
ated with our first panoramic view of tents 
and barracks. And how insignificant seemed 
the part we played, while we were being 
pushed along in an endless line of worried- 
looking comrades. We didn't know but that 
next minute some one might skin us alive, as 
part of the physical examination. 

We shall remember those fever-shots most 
likely— and who shall ever be able to separate 
us from the smell of iodine? Those "meds," 
who learned so quickly a fellow's weak spot 
and hourly thought up new surgical scares — 
the "birds" who caused more real anxieties 
than Hindenburg — how many fellows have 
you heard take solemn oath to "get" one of 
them at the first opportunity? It was impos- 
sible for us at the time to realize that these 
unfortunates had either to amuse themselves 
a little with practical jokes, or go to the men- 
tal infirmary themselves. 

For twice twenty years we shall shivcringly 
whistle that first First Call. It sounded out 
in the darkness, stabbing us in our sleep; 
the most melancholy and piercing combination 
of notes ever staved. It jerked us out of a 
pleasant, peaceful dream to the harsh realities 
of the daylight. . . . The first time you lined 
up for Retreat, and listened to The Star Span 
L'led Ranncr— vou recall that? 



Tlieii :dl the rest of it: 

The manual of arms and the blistering of 

feet, 
The chow that went and came again, a for- 
mer mess to meet, 
The smell of steaming underwear, the feeling 

on K. P., 
The sound of hard-boiled voices seeking 

harder boiled to be; 
The sight of raw potatoes floating on a sea 

of lard. 
The voice of some recruit in calling "Cor- 
poral of. the Guard!" 
The look of your commander at inspection, 

Saturdays, 
And the bursting of your bosom at the 

slightest hint of praise; 
The strange but firm conviction that a pair 

of leather boots 
Could not but make a man superior to raw 

recruits, 
Whereas the lack of chevrons on a blanket- 
like O. D. 
Was evidence as certain of inferiority; 
The rumors and the singing and the letters 

waited for. 
The days of dusty hell, the nights when life 

seemed all a war. . . . 
Well, boys, it's gone, it vanished — may it 

never come again: 
If we must go to battle to give proof that 

we are men, 
Let us fight the wild mosquito on the wild 

Montana bench, 
With a coyote for a bugler and a furrow for 

a trench, 
With a single fair commander giving orders 

not obeyed. 
And a herd of cattle passing in the distance, 

on parade. 



After a Day's Drill. 

At the day's close, its heat forgotten, 
Its struggles gone, and gone its curses — 

Tliose ever-present discords here 

Which smite the soul, though deaf the ear- 

I find forgetfulness in verses. 

A window looking on a garden. 
Within the murmuring of voices, 

Without the eucalyptus sighing— 
A hummingbird a moment poises 

Upon a shrub before me lying. 

Between the trees a brilliant sunset 
Displays the day's departing glory; 

A patch of blue is growing bluer. 
As in the heart life's complex story 

At night grows simpler, clearer, truer. 

I sometimes think if men of passion 
Would sit them down when eve is nearin; 

When Nature gives her soft caressing 
To earth, and songs within the hearing 

Of better selves, bring silent blessing, 

There might be less of pride and folly. 
And greed and war — their consequences; 

There might be greater valuation 

On soul-things placed than those defenses 

Which save tlie bodies of a nation. 

Camp Fremont, Calf., 191S. 



To a Veteran's Ragged Son. 

DedicatL-d to the Canadian (niat War 
Veterans' Association. 

Young man. what means your daddy's wour 
His pallid skin and crippled limb, 
And why are you this day with him 

In tattered clothes, like his, around 
A frame unduly slim? 

Poor little chap, did not my heart 
Spend all its aching on the one 
Who gazes here upon his son, 

I might regard your rags apart. 
As he, I see, has done. 

What meant the crushing months wherein 
Your image led him bleeding through? 
Were they but torments to imbue 

His soul with hate, when he should win 
The fight for all but you? 

If tliere were only he, my lad, 

In all the world of men who fought, 
In need of what the heroes bought, 

The lords of men might well be sad, 
Who now, it seems, are not. 

And if there were but you, my boy. 
In all the world 'of little sons. 
Whose fathers stood before the guns. 

In need like this, 'twere time our joy 
Forsook the brutal Huns. 

What will you say. my little man. 
Thou future soldier of the world, 
When Terror's banner is unfurled, 

And every breath the flame shall fan 
Which round the earth has curled? 

Will you forget tliis winter's day. 
And little shoes that took the wet? 
Your daddy's face will you forget. 

With bitterness and sorrow grey — • 
That day that tarries yet? 

Without a coat, and lacking wile, 

O little boy, if smile you can 
Upon this world, and stay awhile 

The storm that shall invite the man — 
Be merciful and smile!

EDITOR'S NOTE. 

Some of the war workers declined to have their photographs in these col- 
umns, for the reason that they felt their efforts to be negligible. Others mere- 
ly neglected the matter. Those who yielded to the editor's eloquence did so 
with reluctance. However, the home workers performed very necessary, and 
often seemingly thankless, services for their country, which could not in jus- 
tice be passed over; and it seemed only proper to include them, in harmony 
v.'ith precedent on these count}- war histories, in the book. 

Photographs have been assigned to those departments of war work in 
which the subject was most active; but the activities of the worker are not 
necessarily confined to the department in which the photograph appears.

BOYS OF THE 148th* 
(And all tlie other boys) 

Ho, boys, we are proud of you, proud of you! 

Hurrah for your Yankee behavior! 
Our voices will ever sing loud of you 

As something akin to a savior. 

Von went into hell and you're back again, 
Still wearing the smile on your faces; 

You fought like the soul of a Jacobin, 
Yet lost not your sane, happy graces. 

By Jove! and par bleu! we are strong for you. 
Come into your town, take possession: 

We waited, it seemed, ages long for you — 
But now for the victors' procession!

The personnel of the Local Board for Lliy Horn County as first appointed 
was as follows: Chairman, Robert P. Ross; assistant, Sheriiif John Kifer; 
examining physician, Dr. J. H. Drake. Upon the resignation of John Kifer, 
Charles C. Gwinn was selected to assist in the executive work; and when 
J. H. Drake entered military service Dr. O. S. Haverfield was appointed ex- 
amining physician to fill the vacancy. Dr. W. A. Russell also served on the 
Board, as assistant to Drs. Drake and Haverfield. 

Registrants under the jurisdiction of the Local Board numbered approxi- 
mately 3,500, to all of whom were submitted questionnaires. Of this number 
about 1,800 questionnaires were filled out by registrants and sent in to the 
Board for examination. Each document had to be gone over carefully, checked, 
verified, and classified ; and those involving exemption claims given special at- 
tention. Aside from this work, registration cards were kept on all men lial:)le 
to military service, and a mass of clerical lal)i>r undertaken which cannot be 
specified. 

The Board entrained between 300 and ;i."JO Big Horn County men and 
about 50 men from outside points. Tickets, meal tickets and reservations 
were made out for these men, who were sent to all part of the United States. 

After the signing of the armistice the records of the Board were called 
for and three different sets of instructions, involving a great deal of labor, had 
been carried out before the Board was finally relieved of its many-sided and 
somewhat thankless obligation. 

The Big Horn County Local Board, however, performed all the numer- 
ous services asked of it, with a cheerfulness and efficiency which had its effect 
upon the men who came under its jurisdiction, and upon the success of the 
cause to which its labors contributed.

Life Before. 

Come, conirailc, let ns iml 

Sit brooding here; 
The day was weary, hot. 
With new endeavors franght 

Tliat strange appear 
To men like you and me 

Wlio used to be 
Tlie masters of our ways; 
I'.Mt tliose too-easeful days 

Were houm\ to l1ec. 

We wuke when we desired, 

And slept at will; 
W'lien appetite was tired, 
Artistic whim inspired. 

We had our fill; 
We spoke the word we chdse. 

Or silent fell; 
Perhaps our schemes were tlio: 
Which pettiness disclose — 

Rut time will tell. 

If «e were centered then 

In self the most, 
Tlie camp will make us men 
Of less contracted ken. 

For here we're lost. 
If we were cowardly 

Of sacrifice, 
This discipline will be 
Knough to set us free 

l-'nim such a vice. 

If we were lovers theri — 

Of being loved. 
Our spirits now will dare 
Unhopingly to care: 

Good fate removed 
Temptation to impart 

That we might gain: 
This new love is a smart 
That purifies the heart. 

So bless the pain. 



If tlierc we craved tlie things 

Worth while, indeed. 
And laughed at will of kings, 
And chose free fancyings 

Before a creed, — 
Can sleeping in a tent 

That choice destroy. 
Or marching circumvent 
Our secret sweet ascent 

To moods of joy? 

What matter th;,t ,.ur lot 

Compels thr use 
Of Dayonet and shi;!/ 
The soul of us is not 

Exposed to ruse 
Of harnifu] enemy 

r.ut sell alMue. 
No fear for ynu and me; 
If we go Over, we 

Will not he gone! 

Adventure lies ahead. 

Come, comrade, on! 
The world we knew is dead: 
And should we find, instead. 

Some sunny dawn, 
Another, brighter yet. 

Somewhere, somewhere. 
Think you we shall regret. 
Or lessons learned forget? 

Ne'er. comr:ide, ne'er!

— Thousands of American heavy guns fired the parting 
shot at the Germans at e.xactly 11 A. M. At many 
batteries the artillerists joined hands, forming a long 
line, as the lanyard of the final shot. There were a 
few seconds of silence as the shells shot through the 
heavy mist. Then the gunners cheered. American 
liags were raised by the soldiers over their dugouts 
and guns and at the various headquarters. Individual 
groups unfurled the Stars and Stripes, shook hands 
and cheered. Soon afterward they were preparing 
for luncheon. All the boys were hungry, as they had 
breakfasted early in anticipation of what they consid- 
ered the greatest day in American history. 

— Mens was taken by the Britisli. and from Belgium 
to the Meuse the German line was near collapse be-

Xov. 12 — The abdication of Emperor Charles of Austria 
is officially announced at Vienna. 

— Latest advices from Germany show that while desul- 
tory fighting is occurring in Berlin, and that naval 
mutineers are refusing to yield to any authority, the 
Socialist Government is proceeding toward full con- 
trol. All factions of the Socialists are apparently 



working in unison, and the ultraradical, or so-called 
Bolshevist element, has gained great recognition. The 
agreement which h.is bon reached between the Social- 
ist and Indepcn.l.iit S. .nalist Parties and the new re- 
gime seems to Ii.im -..(iin.l -upport from the press. 
In addition to llir WOllY I'.ureau, the Socialists are 
now represented l)y :'. ncwsp,ipt-rs, the Vorwaerts, the 
Lokal-.-Vnzeiger, formerly tlie Emperor's favorite 
newspaper and now rcchristencd the Red Flag, and 
the former semi-official organ, tlic North German Ga- 
zette, which has taken the now title of the Interna- 
tional. The revolutionary movement is continually 
spreading. Koenigsberg, Frankfort-on-Main and 
Strassburg are now controlled by the Soviets. 
— The Belgian Legation, in an official statement today, 
announced that Belgium will no longer submit to a 
status of "guaranteed neutrality" like that which ex- 
isted before the war. It aspires to "complete inde- 
1)1 luknce ; to the rights common to all free peoples." 
— Chainiian Baruch of the United States War Indus- 
tries Board began to lift the restrictions on building 
material so that the country can return to a peace 
basis gradually. He announced the reversal of prior- 
ity orders respecting commodities that hatl been cur- 
tailed for the war. The action of the War Industries 
Board is a first step to be followed as quickly as it 
is deemed advisable by others. 
— Secretary Mc.A-doo announced a 75 per cent, reduc- 
tion in Government war risk insurance rates on hulls, 
cargoes and seamen s insurance. This made the 
rate on ships and cargoes through the war zone Vi 
of 1 per cent., instead of 2 per cent., with other rates 
cut accordingly. Treasury officials explained that, 
although the submarine has been abandoned, risk still 
exists on account of floating mines and the possibility 
that some submarines may run amuck. 
June 28 — German envoys signed the Peace Terms. 
Aug. 12 — Final casualty reports from the Central 
Records office of the American Expeditionary Forces 
in France, made public by the War department to- 
day, gave the total battle deaths as 49,498, total 
wounded 205,690 and prisoners 4,480. 
July 1 — The army had reported 149,433 cases of 
disabled soldiers to the War Risk Insurance bureau. 
It was estimated that the final total would be close 
to 200,000.

Wilson" s Fourteen Points of Peace 



Oil January ,s, 1918, President Wilson, in an address 
to a joint session of Congress named fourteen points as 
essential in a consideration of peace. His speech, in 
full, will be found on pages 17-18 of the 1918 World 
Almanac and Cyclopedia. The fourteen points he stated 
as follows : 

I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at; after 
which there shall be no private international under- 
standings of any kind, but diplomacy shall proceed al- 
ways frankl}' and in the public view. 



II upon the seas,

tional coveiKiins. 



III. The removal, so far as possible, of all 
barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade 
conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace 
and associating themselves for its maintenance. 

IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that na- 
tional armaments will be reduced to the lowest point 
consistent with domestic safety.

VI. The evacuation of all Russian territory, and such 
a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will 
secure the best and freest co-operation of the other na- 
tions of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered

ciwn ebon. illy ; and, more than ,1 welcome, assistance 
also of every kind that she may need and may herself 
desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister 
nations in the months to come will be the acid test of 
their good will, of their coinprehension of her needs as 
distinguished from their own interests and of their in- 
telligent and unselfish sympathy. 

VII. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be 
evacuated and restored without any attempt to limit 
the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all 
other free nations. No other single act will serve as 
this will ^erve to restore contidenee ;nnting the nations 



in the laws which they have themselves set and deter- 
mined for the government of their relations with one 
another. Without this healing act the whole structure 
and validity of international law is forever impaired, 

VIII. All French territory should be freed and the 
invaded portions restored ; and the wrong done to France 
by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, 
which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly 
fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may 
once more be made secure in the interest of all. 

IX. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should 
be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nation- 
ality. 

X. The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place 
among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and as- 
sured, should be accorded the freest opportunity of 
autonomous development. 

XI Roumania, Serbia and Montenegro should be evac- 
uated ; occupied territories restored : Serbia accorded 
free and secure access to the sea, and the relations of

XIII. An independent Polish state should be erected

and economic independence and territorial integrity

trades unions what his country considered a basis for 
peace discussion. 



Reveille 

A Story of Two Recruits. 



Reveille. 

A Story of Two Recruits. 

In simple meter read the simple tale 

Of William Gray and .Alexander Dale, 

Who "felt the draft"— the draft of Wilhelm's 

breath, 
And went away to challenge him and death. 
Had either been allowed to make a choice 
It must be owned he would have shunned the 

noise 
Of inighty guns and weary marching fee*. 
For. after all, one's life is very sweet, 
And love and ease more tasteful to a youth 
Than hard philosophy or quest of truth; 
More sweet, indeed, to modern-thinking men 
Than wreaths and halos, used since who knows 

when 
The passions of the masses to inflame, 
No less in cause of honor than of shame. 
So neither was a hero, then, to start, 
Down in the bottom of his civil heart, 
Despite the poem in the local "sheet" 
And all the hearty handshakes on the street, 
Upon the day of setting out to be 
.All atom in the nation's soldiery. 

In .\le.\ander's quota there were boys 
Much troubled with a longing to rejoice — 
One last rejoicing, they agreed, before 
Their Uncle Sammy locked the swinging door. 

In Billy's crowd the same desire was felt 
And quite a similar aroma smelt, 
But William watched the cactus and the sand 
Fly past, and did not wish to take a "hand." 

"We're into it." said .\lcx to the rest, 

"So damn it. fellows, let us do our best!" 

The others nodded so agreeably 

That Alc.x then retold his history: 

"Yes, sir, I blew it — house and car and all 

As soon as I was sure about the call; 

I figured I would have what fun I could — 

And, boys, I bet the life will do us good." 

The game progressed, and fanned by words 

of praise 
The speaker's pride assumed the fighting phase. 
He cursed all enemies, and swore that he 
Would send the Fritzes to Eternity. 
And let no one suppose he meant it not. 
Especially when his courage bubbled hot; 
Nay, even when he went to bed that night 
He clenched his fists and dreamed he had a 

fight. 



Not so with Billy Gray from Arkansas. 
Poor Billy marveled at the mighty law 
That so relentlessly tore homes apart, 
And no less ruthlessly the aching heart. 
He did not wander, in his upper berth, 
O'er pleasant meni'ry-paths, but saw the earth 
In flames of fire, extinguished by the tears 
Of all the women of the countless years. 
And then he heard his sweetheart say good-by. 
And wondered if a soldier ought to cry. 

They met on "Angel Island," so renowned, 

Where non-commissioned persons so abound. 

And so efficiently the "rookies" hound 

Who gaze and stand and stand and gaze around 

The wind of soldier's-fortune from the bay 

Came swirling up the dusty canvas way, 

That stony, hot and chilly avenue. 

And in a common tent the heroes blew. 

The sergeant with an oath had made it clear 

That one must be most sanitary here. 

And so the Arkansawyer meekly said. 

When Alex took a can of snuff to bed: 

"I guess we spilled some water on the floor." 

At which the other laughed and spat some 

more. 
"Cheer up there, kid, the army ain't so bad." 
But in the corner lay a silent lad. 

Pray, list, good reader of heroic deeds. 
And lover more of action than of creeds: 
If you would choose a thrill from out the rest. 
Select not that which courses through the 

breast 
Of hardened soldier on the firing line, 
But one that plays upon the shapeless spine 
Of some homesick recruit who wakes at mor.i 
To sound of bugle (called by him a "horn.") 
For then is Alexander, howe'er Great, 
Like timid William struggling with his fate, 
bach conqu'ring in his own peculiar way: 
One curses and the other tries to pray. 

The days went by, as e'en in uniform 

They must, with spells of calm and fits of 

storm. 
With hopes and fears and games and many lies. 
And weariness and "chow" and scorching skies. 

.\ nicinth had made a mighty change in Will, 
In fact the boys had pleased to call him Hill; 
A change, that is to say, that one could see: 
Down in his shoes he knew that he was he. 



In Ak-xaiu!cr, too, the training sliowed: 
lie needed now no longer other goad 
To gallantry, than leather-legged salute 
Acknowledging his own well-polished boot. 
He spoke about "the chevron" with a puff 
Of lung-familiar smoke that said enough 
To indicate the trend of his desire; 
Mad even called a corporal a liar. 

At drill the doughty Dale was rarely caught 
In dreams, and Billy Gray was rarely not, 
i'.ut Billy tried, and his instructors knew. 
And many a comrade's whispers pulled him 
through. 

'Twas Alexander's custom not to rise 
Until the trumpet notes had hit the skies, 
And then to sway the tent-pole in his speed- 
But never once missed reveille, indeed; 
No more did Alex miss the passing stew, 
Or coffee — or whatever was the brew — 
The -'spinning wheel," the "grudge-ring," or a 

bet. 
Or briefest chance to liglit a cigarette. 
At first, in thoughtful moments, on his bunk. 
He had a sense as though of being drunk 
On some strange subtle liquor of the blood — 
But little of such things he understood. 

•■()],, h :" he would impatiently exclaim, 

'•rm in tlic (this is not verbatim) game!" 

.•\nd naturally he was not many times 

The victor thus of faint, soul-echoing chimes 

Of Something Better, till he learned to sleep 

Upon an oath, quite comfortably deep. 

Then followed self-made liking of the life. 

Of course; not of the meaning of the strife. 

But satisfaction in the physical, 

The redd'ning blood, the blare, the dust and all. 

The change external in the younger man 

Was that which goes with quickened step, and 

tan; 
A very close observer might have caught 
A smile at times when days were very hot 
And some one fainted, then put on a face. 
Recovering, that asked for holidays. 
An incident or two like this had shown 
The .Xrkansawyer that he stood alone 
Before his self-respect, and he resolved 
The puzzle of his soul could not be solved 
In coward tricks, however they might tempt: 
Before his conscience he was not "exempt." 
Indeed, so firmly did he grasp the fact 
That he allowed the milling to exact 
An unjust tribute from his narrow frame 



And suffered needless mis'ry for the same. 
But through his resolution, strengthening, 
He sometimes thought he caught a glimmering 
Of light, far on the foggy way before. 
And so in time he wished for home no more. 

Let no good patriot suppose that now 
The tale is twisted sharply to allow 
A sweep of hackneyed sword-adventure brave. 
Wherein the youth goes forth in war to save 
The mighty Dale. A keener fight is seen 
Ofttimes upon that more elusive screen, 
The mind, than in a panoramic view 
From aeroplane that cuts tlie Flemish blue. 

If William Gray had come to find content, 

In measure, in his boisterous cantonment. 

And leave home-visions to the midnight dream, 

Where bugle turns to cow-horn, and the scream 

Of eagle to the fluting call of dove — 

The "rain-crow," bird of boyhood and of love — 

It was with no illusion such as those 

Which gave old Dale a horizontal nose, 

But light that came from hope — that hope 

which pride 
Of manhood had inserted in his hide. 
About the time of his last "fever sliot" — 
A spirit-vaccine, with strange power fraught — 
When he perceived how men would whine and 

die! 
To save their precious lives — where all must 



If Billy gave up thinking of the chance 
That might impede his soldierly advance, 
Or cast him back upon the southern farm. 
It was not that the thought had lost its charm, 
But he discovered strength in fighting pain 
Of heart, and in the tasks that seemed so vain, 
Though what it was he never could have told, 
Despite the myst'ry almost would unfold 
Sometimes in silent moments of the night 
When he would wake and wnuder what was 

right. 
Perhaps the thing that held him most of all 
To grim adherence to his coimtry's call 
Was not the wish a patriot to be. 
But just a man who stood unflinchingly 
Before a task where other men must stand. 
His brothers, made like him, in heart and hand. 
No more enamored than himself of strife. 
But the longing to enjoy the peaceful life. 
The pe iceful life — how much it occupied 
His mind, since now his metal had been tried: 
The lazv bodv and the selfish soul, 



The rotting pastime and the petty goal ! 

He saw the change in men about him now 

Who'd never had to answer Why or How, 

Who never had been forced a foot beyond 

Their %vishes, and for whom had never dawned 

A day of weariness for others' salce, 

Of pang iinsoothed, of thirst with naught to 

slake. 
He did not think perhaps in plirase like this, 
But such the substance was: in one may miss 
The college, and the city's life of stress, 
And know the way of mortals none the less. 

A camp expression Ale.x favored much 
Was quite condemnatory of the "Dutch," 
But choice he gave to one that signified 
A man would get "hard-boiled" before he died. 
And in the ring where self-defense was taught 
The phrase went round like Billy's head when 

aught 
Occurred to ta.x the little fellow's strength. 
And stretch him out, perchance, his sorry- 
length. 

But Billy never seemed to comprehend 
That this hard-boiling process was the end 
Of one's apprenticeship in such a school, 
Or if it were then he was but a fool. 
As were all others who declared for peace 
Eventual. Let warfare never cease 
If manhood only thus could be attained 
.And earth's oppressed safeguarded or sus- 
tained. 

.'\nd liere was where the sadness came to him. 
Despite all efTorts to maintain his vim: 
The men like Alex r:ipidly progressed. 
For who could hate the most could fight the 

best, 
(So the instructors said) and who could 

curse 
The baby-killing Huns in speeches terse 
With words most bitter gained the general 

praise; 
Were counted on their squads' "morale" to 

raise. 

It seemed to Billy, as he thought of it, 
(The while mechanically he packed his kit). 
These men were taking with them to the Cause 
Their pet infirmities, their human flaws, 
Which never could fit in, though victory 
Of force might come from all the misery: 
Since what had so descended from above 



In flame of fire, must surely be of lovo 

And not of hate, despite the seeming liell. 

If righteousness were done all would be well 

Some day; but if to hate were added hate 

The lesson of the war had come too late 

To usher in a dispensation new, 

Which one at times beheld, the vapors through. 

■'I cannot see it yet," the youngster said, 

With mutt'ring lips, unto himself, in bed; 

"I cannot see it in the comrades here: 

Perhaps 'twill come next year — perhaps next 

year." 
The morning following, ti> rcveillc 
The men were early called, since it should be 
The day of their departure for the war: 
But Billy Gray would stand to arms no more. 
For in a dream he'd seen the truth at last. 
And to its tragedy and sorrow vast 
Was fain forevermore to close his eyes. 
And so to reveille he didn't rise. 
They sent his body down to Arkansas, 
And there was war-insurance now for Pa, 
But Ma was standing to that Reveille 
Where mothers wait, in Time's Uncertainty. 

A year went by and Alex came again. 

A trifle battle-scarred, but in the main 

As good a talker as in days of yore. 

With add d phrases gathered from the war. 

His friends received him with a welcumc shi>ut. 

And even old-time enemies turned out. 

A while his tales and his renown sufficed 
To liold the town. Six months, and they en- 
ticed 
A little less perhaps than at the first, 
For fame, like bubbles, easily may burst, 
Especially fame like Alexander Dale's, 

A year, and other heroes were in town; 
Five years and Alex was but little known. 
The schoolgirls now were marrying, and boys 
Were men, who scarce recalled the mighty 

Noise. 
Ten years and Dale was just a conimnn niaii 
Among the millions. Now when he began 
The time-worn recitation, no one heard. 
Or smiled when he decried some ancient lord. 

At length the day came nuind wlun .\lcx

lie did not hear a bugle; but, instead, 
A far-olT note kept ringing in his head, 
\s of a maiden crying, and he saw 
The heart of man, and man's imperfect law; 
And then he heard, as often through the past. 
The roar of strife, the shouts of men amassed: 
But through it all at intervals occurred 
The long-lost cry, a woman's, and the word 
"You— you," until the whole confusing strife 
Became a symbol of his self-lived life. 
••I_I_," he murnuired, "yes, 'twas all for me!" 
.\nd so at dawn he answered Reveille. 

When Reveille has sounded for us all. 
Perhaps there will be but a single call, 
A single meaning made so full and clear 
That we shall cease to hate and cease to fear, 
Find understanding of that hidden thing 
Which makes one man a fool, another king, 
Another in the likeness of a god. 
And all the passing substance of a clod.
